Delicato integrates unique modern details over a decidedly traditional foundation. The design fulfills Stefan Hattenbach’s goal of creating a sturdy text face for books and longer texts, while not precluding its use in more decorative settings. Stylistically, Delicato tips a respectful hat to Jeremy Tankard’s Enigma and Petr van Blokland’s Proforma. The family includes standard text cuts — Regular, Italic, Bold — each with full Smallcaps, Ligatures as well as Lining and Oldstyle figures (both Proportional and Tabular). A Medium weight, Alternates and a set of Ornaments further expand the family’s versatility. In 2008, Delicato was expanded to OpenType Pro status, most notably adding full support for Latin-based Central European languages, and that is the edition offered here.

We’ve made the jump to a new website / server / CMS / host this week — oh yeah, and we’ve rebranded. It’s all part of a phased PSY/OPS relaunch. We’ll be adding new content in layers and announcing new typefaces over the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned for some pretty great stuff!

C U L8R Lorem Ipsum — a new, improved and beautifully designed mock-text font is here for your greeking needs. TXT 101, Carolina de Bartolo’s elegant solution to mocking up text on the fly, is now available at PSY/OPS.

Bonus! TXT 101 makes an amazing border font. We’ve built in some genius OpenType coding that allows you to make custom borders in a few quick steps.
